Nostalgic Bibliography
I'm reorganizing my bibliography, found out that there are many titles that I felt nostalgic towards. Many titles are related to people I used to discuss with or phases in my life. Some of them are:
- In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays (Russell, B.)
- one of the very first books I've ever read.
- The Hero With a Thousand Faces (Campbell, J.)
- I really miss that era of exploring Campbell and psychoanalysis… used to be in a very fun communities.
- The Human Web (McNeill et al.)
- It was a very hard job for me to get a paper version of this book, I remember reading it in public transportation, in winter.
- Being Mortal (Gawande, A.)
- Same as previous one, I read it in the same era.
- The Naked Ape (Morris, D.)
- I've some of the dearest memories with this book. I remember recommending it to somebody, they were too shy to discuss the sex chapter and I found that funny, we never talked or met again.
- Your Inner Fish (Shubin, N.)
- one of the first books ever that I read about evolution, recommended to me by my neighbor after he saw the documentary.
- Totem and taboo (Freud, S.)
- My first book to read by Freud, first book to get me very invested into the psychoanalysis theory as well. I even made infographics for this book. It also introduced me to many other European orientalists.
- Group Psychology (Freud, S.)
- Second book to read for Freud, was recommended to me by the same friend who recommended "Your Inner Fish".
- Differential Equations for Dummies (Holzner, S.)
- very bad memories with this one.
- Algorithms (Sedgewick, R.)
- This was my alternative for the common algorithms reference, I don't even remember the name of that reference anymore.
- Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis (Shaffer, C.)
- My first algorithms book, one of the books that I completed 100% of it. I truly loved it, I had a TODO note to thank the author, but I never did.
So many other memories with the rest of the list! خُلِقتُ أَلوفاً لَو رَحَلتُ إِلى الصِبا لَفارَقتُ شَيبي موجَعَ القَلبِ باكِيا.
